Crystal Ball

The Imperial Commanders can see right through stealth, including the one your companion will get after using a medical probe to revive, and will then alert the majority of the room. The Sith Apprentices also have an instant cast CC effect that they will use on your companion; so if you are using Tharan, don't expect heals.

As for Lord Loyat, just interrupt her and stay out of the pinkish lightning effect she places on the ground.

Clear all the mobs approaching the main area. Clear all the mobs along the north wall. In the center of the room near the north side are two strong mobs, a imperial and a sith. The sith will assist in the battle against Lord Loyat. If the 2 strongs are too much for you to solo (they were for my L50 trooper) you can ignore them and let your self die while clearing Loyat's guards. If you kill Loyat's gaurds first and wipe, return via the north side and head up onto the ramp from the extreme edge on the north-west (upper left) corner of the platform. Pull Loyat from there, the second time she will not be assisted by the sith agent. Then keep your interrupts, stuns, etc up and wear her down.

Next in the series is A Gentleman's Agreement

As JSusie said, watch out and clear the adds near the voltage destructable object. I wiped twice because of them, the first time I figured I was too close, and despite fighting Lyat against the wall they still aggro'ed as she died.

Also, don't even try to fight them where they are if you pull them. If you die, you WILL aggro them when you revive.

Unless you're well-equipped, consider grouping for this. It doesn't seem to be in the usual lists of dailies, but I got 3 x Daily Commendation for completing it. Both by difficulty and by reward, it's an H2+ at least.

I found this one unbelievably tricky solo (Infiltration Shadow, just turned 50, mostly only mission gear). I literally lost track of the number of times I died just trying to clear the room. I died when nearby mobs aggro'd; I died trying to Force Cloak out of trouble; I died trying to res within the area. And when I finally got it clear, I died repeatedly trying to kill Lord Loyat. I tried different companions, different stims, different Techniques. I finally took her down with a whisker of points to spare using Qyzen and Combat Technique. Along the way I repaired four times (three yellow, one red (about half my money, having just splashed out on all the level 50 skills). The only reason I kept going to the end was that - to add insult to injury - it wouldn't even let me abandon it.

As others have said: Don't expect to be able to res in the area if you're remotely close to one of the Commanders (or to be able to hit stealth to escape, if you have it) - you'll simply die again. Take the hit, res at the med station and run - it's cheaper (and, after two or three deaths, probably quicker to boot).

Thank you. I did the same thing as "dekekun" above. The box wasn't lit up and active, yet when I took an elevator out, it showed I needed to use the elevator until I was back. No mission complete symbol amywhere.

I went to Corsucant and got out of the ship. Then re-boarded (just to be sure) and returned to the Fleet. Worked like a charm. When I got back there was the mission symbol over Lieutenant Ha'laa
